Academic Standards

Initial and Continuing Eligibility:

To be eligible for University housing, you must be enrolled full-time and have either
a 2.0 cumulative grade point average or a 2.0 semester GPA on 12 or more hours during
the prior regular fall or spring semester. Beginning freshmen are eligible for housing
when they are admitted but must meet the GPA requirement at the end of the first semester
in order to maintain eligibility.

Regaining Eligibility:

Students who do not meet housing eligibility requirements may become eligible by raising
the cumulative GPA to 2.0 or by earning a 2.0 semester GPA on 12 or more hours during
the prior regular fall or spring semester.

Any student who does not meet the academic standards for housing has the right to
appeal to the Housing Academic Standards Appeals Committee, but to be considered for
an exception to these standards, the student must provide convincing evidence of potential
to meet the academic standards in the future and to make satisfactory progress toward
the degree. The appeal should also convey a commitment to an academic focus whileresiding
in the Housing community and should describe the benefits the student hopes to receive
from the Housing experience.
